I agree. Criticizing kindle reader because it lacks desktop functionality is comparing apples and oranges.
But we are talking smartphones here. If you claim that smartphone is no more than kindle reader with ability to call, then why is it smart -phone? How can apple market it's phones with "25 billion apps downloaded"?
And eventually could you insist that owning a smartphone is somehow essential for modern life? You could just settle with dumb phone, books and old walkman. If smartphone is not essential then you can't make apps with the assumption that "everybody will have smartphone soon". If you don't assume that, smartphones are doomed to be a just luxuries.
Then stuff like "you need to optimize your website for mobile" is pretty much like saying "we need to optimize our streets for roller skating".
If you think that, I would honestly agree. I think smartphones are just a fad. But I would not bet on it.
